Agreed, I cant see it happening. Wouldnt see him walking away from his ferrari relationship, even to team up with Ross again. If he couldnt step in for Ferrari this year cant see him racing in F1 again.

This has been posted a few times, dont think its going to happen, surley if he was going to make a return to driving it would have been to replace Massa this year.

i also think its just rumours hes been away for a few years now,has every record in the book! what does he have to prove! But just imagine if he did return next season we would see hamilton v button,alonso v massa and to throw schumy into the mix....mouth watering thats for sure.

I think thats its just a lot of hot air and has been released by Mercedes Grand prix team to divert the attension away from the Button deal that they didnt do. Would be great to see him back in the sport. How Lewis would fair against one of the best, if not the best F1 drivers ever.

Different class of driver. They might be willing to spend more on a 7 time world champion.

One of them maybe.

His contract with Ferrari runs out in January.

This is gonna be great if it comes off. WW3, ze Germans (Rosberg, Schumi and Merc) vs the Brits (Hamilton, Button, McClaren), with the Italians trying to barge in as well. Could turn out to be one of the best seasons yet!

Schumacher is a Ferrari adviser only on their road cars now and no longer the F1 team. So its not a surprise that he is going to Mercedes.
